	Synopsis: Franz Lachman's traveling Shakespearean theater company arrives in Los Angeles but they are now so broke he doesn't even has enough money to pay the shipper to clear their costumes through customs. He gets something of a windfall when he's offered a substantial amount of cash - a thousand in cash and a $10,000 check - to take on an aspiring actress, Claire Adams. His decision to cast her as Juliet - with himself as Romeo - requires others in the company to take on lesser roles. Hostilities grow between Lachman and Brock as financial problems still pop up with the new cash infusion. Perry Mason and Della Street are there on opening night as one of the actors, Steve Brock, is the brother of a good friend. The play goes badly and with the curtain down and the lights out, Lachman is killed with a sword and Brock is arrested. Perry agrees to defend him and learns that far more than professional jealously led to Lachman's murder.
